  Relic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A relic is an object, especially a piece of the body or a personal item of someone of religious significance, carefully preserved with an air of veneration as a tangible memorial.
Relic is also the term for something that has survived the passage of time, especially an object or custom whose original culture has disappeared, but also an object cherished for historical or memorial value (such as a keepsake or heirloom).

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Relics
The word relics comes from the Latin reliquiae (the counterpart of the Greek leipsana) which already before the propagation of Christianity was used in its modern sense, viz., of some object, notably part of the body or clothes, remaining as a memorial of a departed saint.
The veneration of relics, in fact, is to some extent a primitive instinct, and it is associated with many other religious systems besides that of Christianity.
Neither has the Church ever pronounced that any particular relic, not even that commonly venerated as the wood of the Cross, as authentic; but she approves of honour being paid to those relics which with reasonable probability are believed to be genuine and which are invested with due ecclesiastical sanctions.

 The Beachcombers
Born to a loveless Welsh coalmining family, Relic is despised by his father--the father for whom he has nevertheless built fantasies of wealth in letters home.
In this episode Relic's "Da," is present, and in some sort of doomed attempt to win back the family's honour, challenges Nick, 30 years younger, to an anchor pull.
Others look on in horror as "Da" collapses in the sand, humiliated by yet another "failure." Relic, full of hatred and contempt, yet disappointed--every emotion to be read on the actor's face--grabs the rope, hauls the anchor across the line and says bitterly to his father "go home." The old man weeps.

 SACRED TOOTH RELIC IN SRI LANKA   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Yet, the historical records indicate that the Tooth Relic continued to be in the custody of the Anuradhapura rulers, until king Vijayabahu I shifted the capital to Polonnaruva in the 11th century.
He was also said to have had the exposition of the Tooth Relic in a circular shrine built at the Jetavana monastery, which is possibly the ruined edifice in proximity to the Tivanka Patimaghara image house in the northern extremity of the ancient city.
The Tooth Relic was finally hidden in a coirn located in the Delgamuva Vihara in Ratnapura, and it was from this temple that the Tooth Relic was brought to its final and present resting place in Kandy by Vimaladharmasuriya I (1592-1603).

Relic, the new urban-fashion venture from the father-and-son duo behind the Euro-couture retailer Riccardi, opened with little fanfare this fall in Diesel’s former digs, downstairs from its parent store.
With jeans running at around $150-$200, Relic is plenty fashion-forward, but a good deal more accessible than Riccardi, where classic Prada overcoats hang beside ripped jeans that cost more than most major home appliances.
Relic carries a smorgasbord of street-styled denim, hoodies and tees, with exclusives on lines like Morphine Generation, Meltin’ Pot and Nineteen48, as well as a good deal of Diesel merchandise.

 Faustina Relic
According to Willger the relic, stored in a cross-shaped vessel, is a 'first-class relic,' which means it is either a bone chip or part of the saint's body.
By the 10th century, relics were placed in shrines and in reliquaries of churches which became centers of pilgrimage.
He explained that there are three classes of relics: first class, which are chips of the bones or part of the body of the saint; second class, which indicates some kind of direct contact with the saint; and third class, cloth touched by the saint or by a first class relic.

Yet, there is no indication that the Tooth Relic was treated as a symbol of kingship, until it came under the protection of the Sri Lankan kings.
With the practice of treating the Tooth Relic as a palladium of kingship in Sri Lanka, a code of special ritual worship appears to have been established, combining the rituals conducted in a religious shrine and those of a royal palace.
With the development of progressive Buddhist ideals, the sacred Tooth Relic was considered as Buddha in human form and such offerings as food and drinks came to be practiced as a daily ritual.
